On the stage in the Kingdom of Mace, King Jonah was about to deliver a speech that would alter the fate for everyone that he was giving it to.

Greetings, Kingdom of Mace!" King Jonah spoke loudly. "Today is a day like no other. A day that will go down in history. A day that will empower those loyal to the government, and terrify those who are not."

Jonah's gaze met the horizon once more. A light smile formed.

"Today is the day that we arrange the destruction of evil. Today...we, the World Government, declare war upon Evil."

The crowd burst into cheering, applause, and whistling. Jonah's gaze was still steady upon the horizon. He knew that what he was saying would go down in history, and he was elated.

"Our Warlords will embark on a journey across the world to go fight Evil Warlords head on in their territories. Once this is done, to settle the score, there will be one final battle."

Behind Jonah, you could see the #10 Warlord, Kaden, elevating up to the stage from the stairs. Once he had both feet on the stage, he went to his left and stood in place. Behind him followed eight other Warlords, some of them included Ain, who was the #9 Warlord, Muden, who was the #7 Warlord, and Samil, who was the #6.

Every time a Warlord would appear on the stairs

The Warlords now stood in chronological order on the stage. If you were in the crowd, you'd see #10 on the farthest right. A few feet off from where Jonah stood, the #2 Warlord was standing triumphantly. In the distance between King Jonah and the #2 Warlord, there was space for another man.

Jonah resumed his speech. "In this final battle, we will see the likes of two of the world's most powerful fighters. One of them being..."

Jonah turned around and faced towards the steps. Coming up the stairs was an extremely tall and muscular figure. He had short white hair that had a few golden streaks in it, and a short beard with the same coloration. The man stood at about ten feet, eleven inches.

When both of his feet touched the stage, Jonah resumed his speech with only two words.

"SASOYAMA KATRI!"

The crowd erupted into cheers. It was at least a hundred times louder than when #2 stepped onto the stage.

Sasoyama stared blankly at the cheering crowd. He looked over at Jonah and smirked. Jonah then nodded his head as some sort of signal.

Sasoyama then reached into his pocket and pulled out a glossy, orange, cylindrical bar that was about one foot long. He walked over to where Jonah stood and stepped in front of him. Jonah shifted to the right of him so that he could let Sasoyama do what he was planning on doing.

Sasoyama held the bar out in front of him while standing in the middle of the stage. Suddenly, two beams of light appeared on both sides of the bar. The bottom beam of light extended only far enough down to where his feet were planted.

However, the top beam kept extending. And extending. And extending.

It extended until there was a colossally long beam of light that shot up hundreds of meters into the sky. After a few hundred meters, it stopped growing upwards and expanded from all sides outwards. It slowly encompassed the entire sky around the central square.

"YOU ARE NOW ENCOMPASSED IN LIGHT!" Sasoyama began with a strict tone.

The audience looked up at the sky in awe. The clear blue sky was now a sky full of beaming light.

"BUT THIS IS ONLY THE KINGDOM. THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THIS SAFE."

Sasoyama raised his voice even more.

"SO THAT IS WHY I, AND ALL OF MY FELLOW WARLORDS, WILL DESTROY THE EVILS ONCE AND FOR ALL, STARTING TONIGHT!"

The cheering in the crowd was so loud that you couldn't even hear yourself scream.

"IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS, WE WILL FIGHT TO DESTROY THE DARKNESS THAT HAS BEEN BESTOWED UPON THE WORLD SINCE THE ANCIENT TIMES. OUR GREAT KING JONAH WILL LIVE TO SEE A WORLD FULL OF LIGHT!"

Jonah took on an extremely wide smile.

"THE WORLD WILL BE FREE OF DARKNESS ONCE I KILL THE BASTARD THAT THEY CALL THE DARK OVERLORD...MORZI!"

The crowd could not contain their excitement as history was constructed. Sasoyama declared war against a man that not even great generals in armies could think about without shaking in fear.

The people in the crowd on that day thought that this was the start of a Golden Era. An era in which all evil would be eradicated, an era in which light overcame darkness and everyone could live without any threat to their livelihood.

They were excited that Sasoyama single-handedly said that he would destroy evil. People hate evil. Anyone who opposes the ideas of the government is considered evil. It doesn't matter if you're a kid or a weakling, you were still considered evil and were to be eradicated.

But there was a period in which people had to submit to evil. This was known as the Dark Era.

There was a King hundreds of years ago known as King Reyes. He was one of the strongest kings to ever have lived. However, there was someone in the world that was stronger than him.

There was a secret siege led into the castle by this man and his army. He busted through the top of the throne room while King Reyes was sleeping and sent an attack flying towards him.

Luckily, King Reyes wasn't injured by this attack as he woke up in time to block it.

Reyes fell back and kept his distance from the man. He had a dark presence, and he was ready to pounce.

The man who conducted this siege was known as Xaffien. In history, he is known as the Dark King, or, the Evil King.

That night in the throne room, there was a thirty minute long fight between Xaffien and King Reyes. They fought tirelessly, exchanging fatal blows every second, and by the end, Xaffien was victorious.

Most people who conquer the throne are strong militants, or Warlords, who got strong enough to defeat the King.

However, Xaffien's background was much different.

He was the #4 Evil Warlord.
